*Daniel POV*

With Hunter and Harper being passed around, we take turns writing down lyrics and voice recording different beat ideas.

Theo's been running around or playing on the couch until I watch him slowly walk up to Jack and pull on his sweater sleeve

"Uncle Jack" Theo tries to say quietly but this kid doesn't understand the definition of quiet. He draws everyone's attention

"What's up kiddo?" Jack smiles, pushing his chair out a bit so he can face my son

"I have to go potty" Little snickers and laughs fill the room which I quickly put a stop to because he's clearly already embarrassed if he's whispering.

"That's something your dad can help you with" Jack looks at me for help but I shrug my shoulders

"Pwease! I'm gonna pee my pants!" Okay, now I let the laughter go

"Alright, let's go" Jack glares but I send him a smirk as he takes Theo's hand and they leave the studio

"Do you guys wanna come over to my place tomorrow? Just have a chill day by the pool, have a good barbecue. Y/n misses you lot" I chew on the end of my pen, hoping I get no questions on her health that I made sound so bad that they wouldn't come over to visit

"Is she feeling better?" Of course, thanks Jonah

"She's good, she went for a short walk yesterday. She's up for seeing more people again" I lay down my pen, taking Hunter from Corbyn and laying him on my lap as he sleeps

"Yeah, I'm down, we'll loop Jack in when he gets back"

The boys all agree to come and we continue to get lyrics down. I hear muffled squeals coming from the hallway before Theo busts through the door.

"Daddy! Look what uncle Jack got me" He flings a chocolate bar in my face.

"Would mommy let you have this much chocolate?" I ask in a stern voice which causes Theo to hold the chocolate bar behind his back

"No" He reply's shyly

"Then maybe we should only have a piece or two" I smile as my phone starts to ring in my pocket. I pull it out seeing a beautiful photo of my wife, smiling brightly just before I ruined our wedding day.

"Hey baby" I smile as I answer the call

"Hey, you have the kids?" Her voice is soft, sounding like she's just woken up

"I do, they're here at the studio with me"

"You didn't have to take them, you could've woke me up" She sighs but I know she's got a smile on her face.

I'm proving my word, that I'll take care of the kids. She's been doing it alone for six months, it's my turn.

"I got you baby, have a relaxing day"

"Thank you"

"Of course baby, I gotta go, I love you"

"Have fun at the studio" She hangs up before anything else is said.

I don't blame her for not saying she loves me back, with everything I've put her through, I'd be surprised if she even does still love me.

My train of thought gets cut off by the door flying open and management stands in the door way, looking at Theo on the couch, Hunter in my lap and Harper in Jack's arms.

"Are we a daycare now?" He scoffs

"For the day, yes" I answer without hesitation

"No, where's your wife? Get her to pick them up, we've got places to be"

"No, I haven't spent the day with them in six months, I'm spending the day with them"

"Then go home, the rest of you, come with me" He walks out of the room, as I suck in a deep breathe

I start packing up my things without a second thought, placing Hunter back in his seat as Jack places Harper in hers.

"Can you take my guitar? I won't have enough hands to bring it with me with the three of them and the bag" I run a hand through my hair, hating that this was supposed to be Y/n's free day and I've ruined that too

"Yeah, I'll drop it off later" Jack pats his hand on my shoulder before they all leave without saying another word.

I throw the diaper bag over my shoulder and grab the two car seats, one in each hand. I pray Theo behaves just until we get to the car, he's almost two, he's got too much energy

"Alright Theo, let's go see mommy" He squeals, jumping down from the couch and racing out of the room.

I follow him to the elevator, placing Hunter on the ground to press the down arrow, just wanting to get out of here.

The four of us get in the elevator with success and we make it to the ground floor and out the back door.

I get them all in their proper places in the car before getting myself in with a heavy breath.

Do I call Y/n and tell her we're coming home? What if she's sleeping?

I argue in my head, pulling out of the parking lot and onto the main road. The drive back is silent as all three of them fall asleep on the drive back.

When I pull into our drive way, I let out a deep breath and climb out of the car, getting the twins out first. I place the car seats at the door before going back for Theo.

When I open the front door, I'm greeted to the sounds of pots and pans clinking together, sending a horrible ring through my ears.

"Y/n?" I try to whisper in a loud tone with the sleeping toddler in my arms

"What are you doing back so early?" Y/n spins around in the kitchen as I place Theo down on the couch

"We missed you" I lie with a smile on my face. I don't want her to know I got kicked out for having the kids with me

"Where's the twins?"

"Oh shit, right" I race out to the porch, grabbing the sleeping kids in their seats and bring them inside to the living room

"Thank you" Y/n whispers as she walks over to me, wrapping her arms around my neck for a tight hug

"Of course love, I'd do anything for you" And I mean it

"Will you come with me to see my parents next week?"

"Except that" Y/n laughs as she pulls away from the hug

"Why not?"

"Your dad already hates me and the fact that you asked them to move in, doesn't help my case"

"I didn't ask to move in, I asked if we could visit them for a bit" She winks, she tricked me

"You little liar" I laugh picking Y/n up and throwing her over my shoulder.

Y/n squeals as I run around with her as she smacks my back and a playful giggle leaves her lips. I place her down on the kitchen counter beside all her baking ingredients.

I stand in between her legs, still holding onto the small of her back just staring into her gorgeous eyes. I give her a light smile before being smacked on the side of the head with a handful of flour.

I gasp as she lets out a soft giggle that melts my heart. I grab a handful of sugar throwing it in her direction as I take off running around the kitchen.

As I watch her laugh, it feels like when we first started dating, being carefree and so in love, I missed that.

As she grabs an egg, ready to splat it on top of my head, I grab her wrist to stop her. She looks at me, losing her smile in confusion as I grab the back of her neck with my other hand and pull her in to place her lips on mine.

"Ew!" Theo yells causing me to chuckle onto Y/n's lips
